Classification of vertebral fractures

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 1991
Abstract Although it is a cardinal feature of involutional osteoporosis, there is often disagreement on what constitutes a vertebral fracture. We measured vertebrae T4-L5 in 52 healthy women to develop a normal range (mean ± 3 SD) for vertebral shape and used these data to assess the prevalence of vertebral fractures.

The prevalence and under-diagnosis of vertebral fractures on chest radiograph

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2018
Background Vertebral fracture is the most common fragility fracture but it remains frequently unrecognized and is underdiagnosed worldwide. In this retrospective study, we examined the prevalence of moderate and severe vertebral fractures on chest ...

Management of glucocorticoid-related osteoporotic vertebral fracture

Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia, 2020
The vertebral column is the most common site of osteoporotic fractures in long-term users of glucocorticoids. Vertebral fracture leads to significant morbidities such as unrelenting pain, spinal deformities and reduced mobility, leading to diminished ...

Epidemiology of clinical fractures, morphometric vertebral fractures and osteoporosis treatment [PDF]

, 2022
For people with osteoporosis, it is cost-effective to start specific therapy, however, for people with osteopenia, it is not. Here, the paradoxical situation arises that: in people over 50 years of age with a fracture, more people have osteopenia than ...

Femoral neck morphology differentiates femoral neck from vertebral osteoporotic fracture

Reumatismo, 2003
Mineral density and bone geometry are the two main biomechanical factors related to bone resistance to stress. Objective: In this study we assess whether differences in the proximal femur geometry (PFG) characterize different types of osteoporotic ...

Prediction of vertebral fractures in cancer patients undergoing hormone deprivation therapies: Reliability of WHO fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) and bone mineral density in real-life clinical practice

Journal of Bone Oncology, 2022
Background and Objective: Prediction of fractures in cancer survivors exposed to hormone-deprivation therapies (HDTs) is a challenge since bone loss is rapid and severe, and determinants of fractures in this setting are still largely unknown.

Relationship between Preoperative Adjacent Disc Height and the Occurrence of Adjacent Vertebral Body Fractures after Balloon Kyphoplasty for Osteoporotic Fractures at the Thoracolumbar Junction

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica
Adjacent vertebral fractures after balloon kyphoplasty are speculated to occur in association with increased mechanical pressure due to rigid cement-augmented vertebrae.

A predictive nomogram for selective screening of asymptomatic vertebral fractures: The Vietnam Osteoporosis Study

Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia
Objectives: Vertebral fractures are associated with disability and mortality, but most vertebral fractures are asymptomatic. The present study aimed to determine the incidence of and develop a predictive nomogram for asymptomatic vertebral fractures in ...
